고등학교 영어 교사의 영어 말하기 교수학습 및수행평가 실태 조사 연구

The purpose of this study is to investigate high school English teachers’ teaching English speaking and English-speaking performance assessment(ESPA) through analysis of the status of teaching English speaking and ESPA. For this study, English teachers with a wide range of years of teaching participated in a survey from 463 high schools nationwide. The results showed that almost half of the schools surveyed did not offer English conversation courses. In addition, it was also revealed that almost half of the English teachers did not provide English speaking activities even in the general English class. Many teachers responded that they did not implement ESPA mainly because a speaking test was not included in College Scholastic Ability Test, workload of English speaking class, and tight coverage of lessons. The most difficult things in implementing ESPA were pointed out as the development of test items and their scoring. Based on the aforementioned findings, some suggestions for activating ESPA in schools were addressed.
